About the Book

Few areas of photography require the level of unwavering technical expertise required for successful macrophotography. When you're shooting very big images of very small subjects, even tiny flaws--be it in the lighting, composition, focusing, or any other aspect of the process--can result in unusable images. In this book, Stan Sholik provides a practical approach to overcoming the most common challenges faced when shooting macro. He takes you behind the scenes and explains each step of the process involved in photographing a vast array of subjects with varying colors, shapes, textures, and surfaces. You'll get inside the creative process, learn what specialized equipment is required for top results, and how simple light tweaks can make or break your images. With these skills, you'll be ready to take on any macrophotography challenge with confidence!

About the Author: Stan Sholik has spent over three decades as a commercial, advertising and illustrative photographer in Orange County, CA. During that time he has developed a national reputation in a wide range of technology-oriented specialties for his clients in the computer, electronics, medical device and food industries.

Early in his career he began specializing in closeup/macro photography, motion-simulation and in-camera photocomposition to enhance the images created with his large-format cameras. The acquisition of a high-end computer workstation in 1993 enhanced his capabilities in all of these areas, allowing him to create images that could not be created cost-effectively with the camera alone. He is now working extensively with both 4x5 film and a high-resolution digital capture back for his large-format images and lower-resolution digital cameras for other applications.

He has also gained a reputation as a writer on both conventional and digital imaging topics with articles in View Camera, Shutterbug, Professional Photographer, After Capture, Rangefinder and other magazines. His first book, Close-up and Macro Photography Handbook was published by Amherst Media, Inc. in 2000. Stan's second and third books, Photographic Filter Handbook, and Handbook of Digital SLRs were also published by Amherst Media. His latest book, Professional Filter Techniques for Digital Photographers, was published by Amherst in 2006.

Self-taught as a photographer, Stan holds a BS degree in Physics and an MA in English from Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, PA.
